Dr. Gail Sanders Durgin

Dr. Gail Sanders Durgin, Ph.D. has been helping people and changing lives since 2000 in her field of expertise, Neurofeedback. Her career began with a Masters degree in Therapeutic Recreation from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1972. She worked for the State of New York for 18 years in various positions in mental health and mental retardation including being a direct service therapist, therapy supervisor, treatment team manager, and regional director of training for a variety of professionals working with developmentally disabled clients. She became interested in Neurofeedback because her own children had Attention Deficit Disorder and she was unable to find the appropriate treatment to assist one of her children. Using Neurofeedback training, both her children were able to discontinue their medication and her child with additional issues was able to resolve her symptoms.
